Tens of thousands of nurses will stage a 48-hour strike at the start of next month, their union has announced, in a worsening dispute over pay and staffing.

The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) said no services will be exempt, meaning the strike will involve for the first time nursing staff working in emergency departments, intensive care units, cancer care and other services that previously did not take part.

The union has accused the government of refusing to engage in negotiations.

The strike will run continuously for 48 hours from 6am on 1 March.
